Table 5 shows the univariate and multivariate analysis results for SCD in patients on HD and PD. Univariate analysis showed that age at the time of death < 65 years (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05–1.18,
P < 0.001), diabetes (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.13–1.27;
P < 0.001), hypertension (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.15–1.29;
P < 0.001), coronary artery disease (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.11–1.32;
P < 0.001), congestive heart failure (OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.27–1.51;
P < 0.001), and arrhythmia (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.11–1.41,
P < 0.001) were significantly associated with SCD in patients on HD. Diabetes (OR, 1.14, 95% CI, 1.01–1.28;
P = 0.028) and congestive heart failure (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.02–1.60;
P = 0.034) were significantly associated with SCD in patients on PD. Multivariate analysis showed that age at the time of death < 65 years (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03–1.22;
P = 0.011), diabetes (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.11–1.25;
P < 0.001), hypertension (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.09–1.24;
P < 0.001), coronary artery disease (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.00–1.21;
P = 0.048), and congestive heart failure (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.16–1.40;
P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for SCD in patients on HD. Diabetes was independently associated with SCD in patients on PD (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03–1.30;
P = 0.016).
